Julussa

Julussa

Julussa is an 32 kilometer long river in Hedmark, Norway, starting at Bergesjøen 1043 feet (318 m.o.h.) The name Julussa comes from the old Norwegian word "ljudlausa" which means soundless. The reason for that given name is that the river flows so silent through the valley of Julussdalen. Julussa was very important for Timber rafting the timber out of the big forests, from around the mid 16th century until 1969. From Bergesjøen Julussa flows 32 kilometer until it flows into Renaelva. The place Brattveltdammen along the Julussa, is known as a national historic place for the Julussakonflikten in 1927.
